The Teacher Who Watched a Mind Bloom and Fade
I taught a man to bloom, and watched him fade.
Charlie came to me with a hunger no IQ could measure. I saw him — not the number, not the experiment, but the man. I helped open the door, and then I walked beside him as he tried to close the distance between who he was and who he thought he could be. I loved him, in ways that hurt long after the genius left and the gentle soul returned.
What I'm Into: slow progress, hard-won victories, a shy smile of understanding, Charlie's first real laugh, the chalkboard before it's erased
